That’s not how eggs work. The ones you eat aren’t fertilized and will not develope into chickens.
Yes, nowadays
I’ve eaten boiled eggs that were definitely fertilised. The beak is the worst part. Or the feathers. Actually, all of it is the worst part. Not a fan.
Fun fact, chicken eggs for consumption are typically unfertilized. We are actually eating chicken periods.
Get out
The Catholic Church only started caring about abortion in the 19th century. It was always just a smokescreen.
Regardless, the Catholic Church has historically considered non-human animals to not to have souls or conscience (although they’ve been trying to engage in revisionism in the last few decades), so even if the eggs were actually fertilized it wouldn’t be too much of a contradiction to their dogma, although reality might have a say there.
Fun fact if you go by what the bible says and not what religious people say. Life is in the breath and therefore doesn’t begin until after birth. It also gives recipes to force miscarriages if a woman was raped or had an adulterous relationship.

Thx, mate
I don’t know how its in Catholic church, but in orthodox all animal products are forbidden during fast. I would assume its the same in Catholic, but I am not sure
Fishes are allowed during Lent. Also beavers count as a fish.
Alright, to play the devil’s advocate: the vast, vast majority of eggs that are sold are unfertilized, candled, and taken before there’s any real chance of a visible embryo forming, even if they have been fertilized; and I don’t think that even for the few fertilized eggs that do get sold and eaten, that an unnoticeably tiny bunch of stem cells could properly be called “meat”, anyways.
Alright, to play God’s advocate: every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great! If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate! And an egg is just a big lady sperm!
